[專業涵養] ISO 9999:2022 的聽覺輔具及相關輔具變動

大約六年前我曾經詳列 ISO 9999:2016 的聽覺輔具及相關輔具變動,以及 CNS 15390 的種種嚴重錯誤,實際執行 CNS 15390 翻譯工作的多功能輔具中心當時還跟我說正在著手更新,結果這些年過去,CNS 15390 依然不變,ISO 9999 倒是已經推進到 2022 年的第七版。

ISO 9999:2022 跟 ISO 9999:2016 之間的變化幅度相當大,我在本文針對聽覺輔具及相關輔具的部份,也就是 ISO 9999:2016 的 04 27 1505 03 0305 0606 30 2409 06 0922 0622 1822 2422 2722 3327 03 0927 06 2728 24 0328 24 15 等分類代碼,比較這兩個版本間的異同。


分類代碼 04 27 15
ISO 9999:2022 改編至分類代碼 04 28 06
ISO 9999:2016
(04 27 15) Sound stimulators
  • Devices to mask the auditory perception of noise produced from within the ear or from external sources
  • Included are, e.g. tinnitus masks.
  • Assistive products for hearing, see 22 06
ISO 9999:2022
(04 28 06) Assistive products for stimulating senses with sound
  • Assistive products for sound therapy and stimulation of senses with sound waves
  • Included are, e.g. tinnitus masks.
  • Assistive products for hearing, see 22 06

近十年來的耳鳴處遇策略早已不是「遮蔽」,而是搭配聲音治療 (sound therapy) 的技術。原本 04 27 在 ISO 9999:2016 是刺激器 (stimulators),到了 ISO 9999:2022 調整為目的很特定的「治療細胞或組織層級的刺激器」(stimulators for treatment on cellular and tissue level),因此刪除 04 27 15,改編列到這一版新增的 04 28「刺激感官的輔具產品」(assistive products for stimulating senses) 底下,並且大幅調整描述,首次寫出「聲音治療」的輔具用途。


分類代碼 05 03 03
ISO 9999:2022 改編至分類代碼 22 09 12
ISO 9999:2016
(05 03 03) Assistive products for voice training and speech training
  • Products for training and developing the use of voice and speech, particularly in relation to the production and awareness of sounds
  • Included are, e.g. assistive products for training spoken language, S-, F- and Sch-indicators, acoustic spectral analysers.
  • Assistive products for mother tongue training, see 05 18 03

  • Included are, e.g. assistive products for training spoken language, S-, F- and Sch-indicators, acoustic spectral analysers.

ISO 9999:2022 刪除整個 05「教育及技能訓練輔具產品」(assistive products for education and for training in skills) 類別,底下各細類進行重編、整併、刪除,其中 05 03 03 重編到 22 09「音聲及言語功能輔具產品」(assistive products for voice and speech functions) 底下,且不再區分母語訓練、外語訓練等主要使用目的。


分類代碼 05 06 03
ISO 9999:2022 改編至分類代碼 22 21 18
Assistive products for training in finger spelling
  • Products for training in, and learning, finger spelling, i.e. tactile communication for deaf blind persons
分類代碼 05 06 06

  • Included are, e.g. assistive products for training deaf and hard of hearing persons to understand what other persons say by watching the movement of their lips.
分類代碼 05 06 12
ISO 9999:2022 改編至分類代碼 22 21 27
Assistive products for training in cued speech
  • Products for training and learning vocal language supplemented by signing

ISO 9999:2022 刪除整個 05「教育及技能訓練輔具產品」(assistive products for education and for training in skills) 類別,底下各細類進行重編、整併、刪除,其中 05 06 0305 06 12 重編到 22 21「面對面溝通輔具產品」(assistive products for face-to-face communication) 底下,內容則未修改。


分類代碼 22 06
ISO 9999:2016
Assistive products for hearing
  • Devices for concentrating, amplifying and modulating sound for a person with hearing problems
  • Included are, e.g. hearing aids with built-in tinnitus masking, induction coil devices.
  • Sound stimulators, see 04 27 15
  • Induction loop devices, see 22 18 30
ISO 9999:2022
Assistive products for hearing
  • Devices for concentrating, amplifying, modulating and transmitting sound for a person with hearing problems
  • Included are, e.g. hearing aids with built-in tinnitus masking.
  • Assistive products for stimulating senses with sound, see 04 28 06

ISO 9999:2022 在聽覺輔具產品的定義多加上「傳輸聲音」(transmitting sound) 這一項,因而不再排除感應線圈裝置 (induction loop devices) 產品;早先在 ISO 9999:2016 的分類方式讓人混淆,把一整套感應線圈系統拆成發射訊號的線圈部分 (induction loop devices) 及接收訊號的線圈部分 (induction coil devices) 分成兩類,現在以 ISO 9999:2022 的分類方式就能歸類在一起了。除此之外,這裡也可以看到 04 27 15 重新分類到 04 28 06


分類代碼 22 06 06
ISO 9999:2016
Body-worn hearing aids
  • Devices worn attached to the person's clothes or hanging around her/his neck for amplifying sound
ISO 9999:2022
Hearing amplifiers
  • Devices placed on or nearby the person’s body for amplifying surrounding sound or for increasing the volume of one or more persons’ voices
  • Included are, e.g. communication amplifiers.

ISO 9999:2022 在這個分類做出相當激烈的改變:不再把體配型助聽器視為「助聽器」,而是把這類輔具跟各種體配型態的輔聽器統稱為「擴聽器」,配戴方式也以更寬鬆的方式來描述,不再明示衣服或頸部,改為放在身體上或身體附近都算符合。


分類代碼 22 06 25
ISO 9999:2016
(無此分類)
ISO 9999:2022
Sound transmission systems for hearing aids
  • Devices for transmitting sound between source and hearing aid
  • Included are induction loop systems, induction loop amplifiers, radio frequency (FM) transmission systems, infrared (IR) systems and streaming systems

ISO 9999:2022 新增這個分類,把所有搭配助聽器使用的聲音傳輸配件及系統通通涵括在內,包括線圈系統、調頻輔具、紅外線系統、串流系統等等,用於雙對側傳聲型助聽器的無線收音麥克風設備也符合此分類的定義。請注意這類輔具的要件是主要功能為搭配助聽器使用。


分類代碼 22 06 27
ISO 9999:2016
Accessories for assistive products for hearing
  • Included are, e.g. audio connections, spectacle adaptations, remote controls for hearing aids, software, batteries, rechargeable batteries, battery chargers.
ISO 9999:2022
Accessories for assistive products for hearing
  • Included are, e.g. audio connections, spectacle adaptations, remote controls for hearing aids, software, special purpose batteries, rechargeable batteries, battery chargers.

ISO 9999:2022 在這個分類的變動是把「電池」修改成「用於特殊目的的電池」(special purpose batteries),因此排除常規使用的電池。舉例來說,有些人工電子耳語言處理器在搭配調頻輔具使用的情況,需要更換使用大電流規格的專用電池,這種專用電池即屬於本類,但平常使用的電池則不是。


分類代碼 22 18
ISO 9999:2016
Assistive products that record, play and display audio and visual information
  • Devices that record or deliver information in audio or visual formats and products that combine any of those functions
  • Included are, e.g. audio and video equipment, televisions, sound transmission systems, products that process audio or visual information to enhance its quality and usefulness, such as filtering noises or converting analog to digital information.
  • Headphones, see 22 18 38
  • Visual computer displays and accessories, see 22 39 04
ISO 9999:2022
Assistive products that record, play and display audio and visual information
  • Devices that record or deliver information in audio or visual formats and products that combine any of those functions
  • Included are, e.g. audio and video equipment, televisions, sound transmission systems, products that process audio or visual information to enhance its quality and usefulness, such as filtering noises or converting analogue to digital information.
  • Visual displays, see 22 39 04

ISO 9999:2022 在這類的修改屬於編輯性修訂,例如把 analog 改為 analogue,以及把已經併入子類別的耳機 (headphones) 略去(之前在 ISO 9999:2007 編在 22 06 底下,但從 ISO 9999:2016 起已經編入 22 18,只不過 ISO 9999:2016 漏掉沒處理完整),沒有實際的變化。


分類代碼 22 18 03
ISO 9999:2016
Sound recording and playing devices
  • Devices for recording and playback of sounds
  • Included are, e.g. reel-to-reel and all types of tape recorders, index tone generators, demagnetizers, digital audio playback and recording devices such as minidiscs, CD players and DAISY players.
ISO 9999:2022
Sound recording and playing devices
  • Devices for recording and playback of sound, e.g. dictaphones and music players
  • DAISY players and e-book readers, see 22 13 21

ISO 9999:2022 調整了這個分類的說明及範例,比較大的變化是把 DAISY 播放器及其他(有聲)電子書閱讀器分出去另外成為 22 13 21


分類代碼 22 18 06
ISO 9999:2016
Video recording and playing devices
  • Devices for saving and playing visual images and motion pictures on tape or other electronic media
  • Included are, e.g. cameras, video players, digital video recorders and players.
ISO 9999:2022
Video recording and playing devices
  • Devices for saving and playing visual images and motion pictures on tape or other electronic media
  • Included are, e.g. cameras and projectors.

ISO 9999:2022 調整了此分類的範例,明確納入「投影機」(projectors) 產品。


分類代碼 22 18 09
ISO 9999:2016
Radio receivers
  • Included are, e.g. radio sets.
ISO 9999:2022
Radio receivers
  • Included are, e.g. radio receivers with audio display.

ISO 9999:2022 調整了此分類的範例,這個範例有點微妙,「audio display」指的應該是把聲音內容以視覺化方式呈現出來的顯示效果,大概是要表達即使這類收音機附有視覺化效果顯示螢幕,但是主要功能還是在於接收射頻訊號的輔具,而不是「把聲音轉換成視覺刺激」的輔具。


分類代碼 22 18 18
ISO 9999:2016
Closed-circuit television systems
  • Closed systems for transmitting images with a camera to a recorder or direct displaying in a remote location
  • Image-enlarging video systems, see 22 03 18

Closed-circuit television systems
  • Closed systems for transmitting images with a camera to a recorder or direct displaying in a remote location
  • Image-enlarging system, see 22 03 18
  • Localization and tracking systems, see 22 29 12

這個分類本身沒有變化,改變的是 ISO 9999:2022 把 22 27 24 改編到 22 29 12 並調整名稱及內容。


分類代碼 22 18 24
ISO 9999:2022 部分併入至分類代碼 22 06 25
分類代碼 22 18 27
ISO 9999:2022 部分併入至分類代碼 22 06 25
分類代碼 22 18 30
ISO 9999:2022 部分併入至分類代碼 22 06 25

ISO 9999:2016 中的這三個分類 (Radio frequency transmission systems, Infrared (IR) systems for audio information, Induction loop devices),如果用於搭配助聽器,就併入 ISO 9999:2022 的 22 06 25,否則就刪除,亦即不再將其他用途的設備視為輔具。


分類代碼 22 18 38
ISO 9999:2016
Headphones
  • Included are, e.g. devices that increase the volume of TVs, radios, stereos or are used together with communication amplifiers.
  • Assistive products that record, play and display audio and visual information, see 22 18

Headphones, earphones and headsets
  • Head-worn loudspeakers placed nearby or inside the ear
  • Included are, e.g. devices that increase the volume of TVs, radios, stereos or are used together with communication amplifiers.

ISO 9999:2022 把這個分類擴充到包含入耳式耳機、耳麥組等類型的產品,給出一個較明確的定義,並且酌做編輯修訂:耳機在 ISO 9999:2007 編在 22 06 24,從 ISO 9999:2016 已經改編到 22 18 底下,相關的編輯沒處理完整,所以 ISO 9999:2022 加以修訂。


分類代碼 22 24
ISO 9999:2016
Assistive products for telephoning and telematic messaging
ISO 9999:2022
Assistive products for distant communication
  • Assistive products for telecommunication and electronic network communication
  • Included are products primarily used for distance communication, but with options for face-to-face communication.
  • Assistive products for face-to-face communication, see 22 21

ISO 9999:2022 不再使用「電話使用」(telephoning)、「遠距通信傳訊」(telematic messaging) 這種說法,改用更符合時代演變的廣義統稱為「遠距溝通」(distant communication) 來描述,定義包括主要用途為遠距溝通的電訊 (telecommunication) 及電子網路通訊 (electronic network communication) 產品,無論是否兼具面對面溝通的輔助功能,皆屬於這個分類。


分類代碼 22 24 03
ISO 9999:2016

ISO 9999:2022
(部分打散重編至 22 24 0422 24 0522 24 07,部分刪除)

ISO 9999:2022 不再以標準網絡 (standard network) 或行動網絡 (mobile networks) 來區分電話,而是以「主要用途」來區分:

  • 具備多種(語音、文字、圖像、視訊)溝通模式的一律編到 22 24 04,包括智慧型手機 (smartphones)、電話會議系統 (telephone conference system)、視訊電話 (videophones) 等。
  • 以口語交談溝通為主要用途的則編到 22 24 07,包括功能型手機 (mobile phones)、網際網路電話 (internet telephones)、觸覺電話 (tactile telephones) 等。
  • 電傳打字機 (telex) 及傳真機 (telefax) 共同編到 22 24 05,這一類的共通點是溝通雙方都不使用口語交談。

請注意:在 ISO 9999:2022 當中,「智慧型手機」同時存在於 22 24 0422 33 06 兩個分類,但是附錄索引中僅指向 22 24 04,也許到了下一個版本會針對這個情況再做調整。
